The G7 Scout is a semi-automatic Marksman Rifle that debuts in Apex Legends.
History[]
The G7 Scout is the third instalment in the G-series of battle rifles made by Lastimosa Armory, with its ancestors being the G2A4 and G2A5. Its functionality doesn't significantly change from its predecessors; being a rifle that, while slower than other Assault Rifles, is still faster than Sniper Rifles.
Design and performance[]
Field notes[]
- Keep a distance between yourself and your targets, because up close, you will be severely outgunned against guns that fire much faster and kill faster.
- Pair this weapon up with something that is powerful up close so that you aren't limited in range.
- Fire as fast as possible. This weapon comes with a larger mag than most MRs and fires much faster so that players can spam it.
Strengths[]
- Higher accuracy
- Although no longer a sniper rifle, still usable at long ranges
- Good damage output
- Capability to equip a burst mode for closer combat
- Fastest firing marksman
Weaknesses[]
- Semi-auto
- Suffers in close range compared to fully automatic weapons
- Needs Double Tap Trigger to be usable in closer ranges.
- greater recoil with Double Tap Trigger at range
